U-23 AFRICA CUP 2015
GROUP B


Algeria vs Nigeria 0:0


Stade Léopold Sédar Senghor, Dakar
Referee: Malang Diedhiou (Senegal)

 

Algeria and Nigeria drew 0:0 in their final Group B match of the Under 23 Africa Cup of Nations in Senegal to make it through to the semi-finals and keep their Olympic hopes alive.

The result in Dakar was enough for both teams to qualify with Algeria finishing top of the group and Nigeria ending as runners-up.

Egypt's faint hopes of progressing were dashed after they lost 1:0 to Mali in the other Group B match in M'Bour after Ragab Abdelnabi scored an own-goal in the 18th minute.

Saturday's results mean the semi-final line-up is complete.

Nigeria will play the Group A winners Senegal, whilst Algeria will take on the Group A runners-up South Africa.

Both semi-finals will be played on Wednesday 9 December.

The tournament also serves as a qualifying competition for next year's Olympic Games with the top three finishers booking a place in Rio.


FINAL GROUP B standings after 3 matches:

01. Algeria 5 pts Q
02. Nigeria 5 pts Q
03. Mali 3 pts
04. Egypt 2 pts
